What size belt do you need to bypass ac compressor on 1999 jeep grand Cherokee Laredo 4.7 lit?

There isn't a single standard size belt to bypass an AC compressor on a 1999 Jeep Grand Cherokee Laredo 4.7L. The correct size depends on whether you're using a bypass pulley or simply removing the compressor and its associated components. The routing of the belt will also change, necessitating a different length.

You need to consult a parts catalog or a diagram specific to your vehicle. This diagram will show you the belt routing with and without the AC compressor. From that routing, you can determine the correct belt length for your bypass setup.

Options include:

* Using a bypass pulley: This replaces the AC compressor and allows the existing belt to work, often without needing a shorter belt. Check the available bypass pulleys for your model to see if a belt modification is necessary.

* Removing the AC compressor and using a shorter belt: This will require a significantly shorter belt and precise measurement.

Without the correct diagram or a physical inspection of the belt routing with the AC compressor removed, getting the right belt size is impossible. Incorrect belt sizing can lead to poor performance, belt slippage, and potential damage to other components.

I strongly recommend checking a repair manual for your specific Jeep Grand Cherokee year and model, or consulting a local auto parts store. They can often access diagrams and databases to help determine the appropriate belt size for your particular bypass configuration.
